Rocastem
Rocastem is a liquid aerator and root stimulator that works at microscopic level to hit and help the 90% of the root zone you don’t get with mechanical aeration.
Working between core holes, Rocastem:
Drains and aerates
Firms turf surfaces
Opens soils to clear toxic root zone gas build up
Triggers plant vigour
Application rate: 10 lts/ha
Dilution: 1:25+ litres water
Recommended Period of Use:
Spring to mid-Winter
Rocastem has 4 actions:
De-compacts the root zone by draining excess water and freeing silts, clays and fine sands
Increases water percolation of trapped water to maximize soil aeration and root extension
Encourages indigenous microflora consumption of excess organic matter
Provides plant stimulus to pull grass through close mowing, heavy play and climatic stress
Rocastem is best applied as a programme of 4 to 5 treatments.
Regular application of Rocastem results in:
Firmer, truer playing surfaces year round
Drier warmer greens into Winter and earlier growth into Spring
Optimum moisture retention in the upper root zone
Root hair stimulation and healthy plant vigour
“Since the inclusion of Rocastem in our aeration program there has been a reduction in invasive mechanical disturbance whilst giving us firmer drier greens that return to play much faster. In one of the wettest periods of weather on record our greens were rarely out of play!”
